Fuking thing!
In excess of £200 for a new one.
Just done the cambelt AND engine oil AND trans oil at a cost of £360 and it's getting new shocks fitted next week which will amount to about £300..
AND it needs 4 new tyres which i'm getting Eagle F1's at £400 for the 4...AND it still only does 150 miles to £40's worth of optimax..Insurance is £200 a month..
Now were is my old MK3 escort when i need it
